Highlights

Needed a trench dug to plumb in my garage, 70cm deep to prevent pipes freezing. George rented a digger and dug it out for me. Trench was about 8m long and went through a patio. George handled this all in one day, and made a very tidy job of it. Avoiding damage to 3 or 4 pipes and cables i didnt know where there. Genuinely thrilled at the outcome because i would have made a real mess of this and at a very accommodating price.

George attended in the first instance, very quickly sized up the job and submitted a prompt and fair estimate. He started on the day arranged and completed stage one, filling in and making good of a deep inspection pit. This had to be left for several weeks to cure and at the end of that period returning to finish the job with two coats of floor paint. Sadly the ambient temperature was near freezing, so he declined to do the painting at that stage as it was against the advice of the paint manufacturer. He came back twice more to attempt the job before finishing. Excellent work and a good job.

George is always friendly, helpful and genuinely caring. He came round to sort a hole that had been left in my external wall following a new kitchen sink. He completed the job to an excellent standard. Today he came round to quote for some other work I asked about. He was very helpful, as always, advising me about various aspects. Very highly recommended. Thank you.

Check the TrustMark register
Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
